“But even if you don’t have hope, it doesn’t really matter. This is about defiance. It’s about doing the right thing, fighting for democracy and for people to not be exploited.” Luke Kemp, on his new book Goliath’s Curse.

COLBERT: You warned everyone…he would prosecute political enemies, cut Medicaid, alienate our allies, give tax cuts to the rich. I know you're not here to say 'I told you so' but would you like to?

HARRIS: You're correct. I did predict a lot of that. But what I did not predict was the capitulation.

They extend this security to a whole bunch of VIPs - he should be one of them. It’s just petty. He did 2 stints in Afghanistan for the UK, supports a bunch of charities. I’m sure he just wants his kids to see where he grew up, enjoy the history, but because of who he is, he can’t do it safely.

He was born into the circus. He deserves to be able to visit the country in safety - surely that’s reasonable compensation for the tabloids in his face for his entire childhood.

Goldberg on Waltz: "This isn't The Matrix. Phone numbers don't just get sucked into other phones. I don't know what he's talking about ... my phone number was in his phone because my phone number was in his phone. He's telling everyone that he's never met me or spoken to me. That's simply not true."

"It doesn't matter whether people believe in #climate change or not.

What matters is insurance companies know that their payouts have gone through the roof & the insurance companies are going to increase people's premiums.

That's just the way it works."
